Going into the Paris Olympics, one of the biggest stories in men’s gymnastics is the rivalry between Hashimoto Daiki of Japan and Zhang Boheng of China. Daiki comes to Paris as the defending champion from Tokyo, where he became the youngest man in history to win the all around title. Meanwhile, Paris will be Boheng’s first Olympics, after having been left at home during Tokyo due to internal politics- something that he quickly demonstrated was a bad decision when he became the 2021 World AA Champion, and he remains the only person to defeat Daiki in an international AA final. The result was re ..read more

Japan’s Olympic team selection process began at the All Japan Championships on the 11th-14th of April (full results here), and concludes this week at the NHK Trophy on the 16th-19th May. Their team selection is known for being the most rigid in the world- it’s all formulaic, with no room for subjectivity, and is only made more brutal by the incredible depth of talent in Japan. 45 gymnasts scored 80+ on day 1 of competition, and across both days 9 different gymnasts scored 85+. To put this into context, the silver medal winning score at the 2023 World Championships was 84.998. The 2024 Olympic ..read more
